Here's the thing about Phil, he's a fraud. He's considered a legend for implementing an offense with no complexity or nuance. Why doesn't anyone ever stop to consider that his teams were great because of Jordan/Pippen and Shaq/Kobe? Hmmm, ok 3 guys go here on the court and the person with the ball will pass it and then cut. WOW. What a revolutionary system! As if defenses can't adapt to that offense in less than a minute. High school teams run more complex offenses than the triangle. To compound the issue, defenses are more complex than ever these days. To succeed in the modern NBA, you need an offense that infuses energy into the ball, not an offense that stands around and makes basic 5th grade cuts. The funny thing is that there will be a contingent of Knicks fans satisfied with a 20 win season because they were just working the kinks out of the triangle. Never mind trying to play to your roster's strengths (the Knicks have none, but that's beside the point). Phil is a fraud, simple as that. Pop would coach circles around Phil, whose system might've been effective when they were still using peach baskets and weren't allowed to dribble.
